FLOUR “If I Am a Miller” flonr, giving us graham, bran and ather varieties. “The finest flour goes through nine breaks. Between every three hreaks it is sent up to the bolting machines, where it will be sifted llm-u"h fine bolting silk, made over in Switzerland. 1t will be siited three times, each time through finer silk. How fine and foit our flour will be! “An automatic chine will weigh out the flour, a certain amount at a time. .\ man will hold a sack under the machine for cach measure. Another man will sew the sack together with a giant sewing machine that sews sideways instead of up and down, “The hags will he. loaded on hand trucks and away they will go to our’ storeroom. to be ‘piled up almost to the ceiling.

Flour dust in mills is clean and white. When a class of students come to visit my mill, I will smile at them, show them all around and give each one a little sack of flour. Then they will all say, ‘What a nice miller! My, but we enjoyed our trip through his mill!’ “AGNES DALY, ‘GI I am a miller when I'm a man, I'll own a great tall mill, six stories high, standing on the bank of a stream. perhaps on a canal, like the mill in Georgetown. Every day I'll ride from floor to floor ‘on a little one-man-belt eleva- tor run by the water power that runs all the machines in our mill. The water will ripple by, the mill wheel- will go ‘round and ‘round. and the machinery will thunder and whiz. How jolly it will be! “(igain will come in freight cars and auto trucks to bhe weighed, dumped. and, slide like a vellow river down into our grain pit. JThen the grain will go up in hittle cups on a belt elevator, throngh a grain trough on the top floor, down into the deep. round grain bins. *Fhese hins will be as tall as the mill; hige and cchoing. As it is necded -the’ grain will be released from the hins and sent on to the rows of:big hlack iron machines that clang” :md roar as they work. “A spiral revolving chute will separate the cockle from the wheat and dump the useless black grains directly into the water, for cockle makes flour dark, bitter and slow ing. A whole row of machines, each with a different kind of chilled steel roller, will break the grain into fine picces, tearing off the coats that enfold each little grain. The num- ber of breaks each grain will p: through will make the difference in the coarse and fine kinds of weighing ma- 13-B-3."
